The Chief Executive, Mr C Y Leung, met the President of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), Mr Jin Liqun, at Government House this afternoon (December 15) to exchange views on issues of mutual concern.

     Mr Leung said that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government has been proactively discussing with the Central Government and the AIIB on the specific arrangements for Hong Kong to become an AIIB member as soon as possible. He pointed out that Hong Kong could leverage its world-class professional services, such as banking, accounting, legal and engineering, as well as its extensive experience in managing large-scale projects, in participating in and supporting the work of the AIIB.
